Trustees on the Elk Grove Unified school board voted Feb. 17 to increase their stipend from $750 to $3,000 a month, with an increase to $4,500 a month on July 1.

They also voted to increase the maximum number of compensated missed meetings from two to three.

Hi neighbors! I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable house cleaner in the area. I'd also love to get an idea of what people are currently paying for regular house cleaning.
My home has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, and a kitchen, although 2 of the bedrooms do not need to be cleaned.
If you have someone you really recommend, could you please share their information and approximately what they charge? Thank you!

Does anyone know if they are on a routine cleaning schedule? Or are they only cleaned when someone calls to make a report? Since summer break started I’ve noticed a few of my local parks getting more and more dirty, with lots of loose trash in the tanbark (and vapes). Plus candy bars smeared around and shoved into the play structures. Is this something I should be calling the cosumnes number about? I’m pretty new here but I take my kid to the park almost every day and we like to rotate between our local parks.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a water softener installer/installation? Not looking for Culligan to come give me a bid for $5k.

Was at the park this morning and noticed ticks crawling all along the grass and playground. Is this normal for the City of Elk Grove? I can't imagine them not being aware of it being an issue. I did call and leave a complaint or "Customer Concern" with the city. Hopefully they address it soon!

Edit: I am surprised by all of the negative and sarcastic replies. I love taking my kids to the park and have never before encountered this sort of concern. That said I also understand that the outdoors is home for our tiny friends'. Unfortunately, Ticks do carry diseases for both people and pets; and considering it is a park popular for my neighbors to take their children and dogs to I hope they take appropriate precautions! More than anything I wanted to warn people who would like to enjoy this beautiful park so they can be mindful and take appropriate measures to protect themselves and their loved ones until the park is tick free!

Anyone else down? This has been frustrating how many times this service has been going down for me and I’m hoping it’s not just me.

Currently have my router set to Google’s DNS, but still not working.

Hi neighbors! I am looking for an in-home after school tutor for my elementary school kiddos. Any recommendations or leads? TIA!

Anyone here having a migraine today? Maybe the weather change? It sucks.

Hi, all:

Trying to move to the area but cannot for the life of me figure out whether the rental will be on SMUD or PG&E, which directly impacts how much I can afford in my budget in determining a rental, considering I see PG&E is vastly more expensive. Some rentals in Elk Grove list PG&E after "electric and gas," and I don't know if they mean gas is on PG&E or both, electricity and gas. I thought Elk Grove, all zipcodes, was served by SMUD alone for electricity. Can someone help decode this for me? Google's AI mode seems to think north of Laguna Blvd is SMUD and south of Laguna Blvd is PG&E, but I wanted to check with, you know, humans, and humans who actually live in reality and get the electric bills.

Also, can you weigh in on what I should be budgeting for electricity on average in your area for a house under 1500 SQ. Ft? (The smaller the better, like 1000-1200, but those seem to be hard to come by.) Ditto for water, sewage, garbage, and gas. I'm having trouble understanding what is actually in my budget with these rental prices that attach a water, sewage, garbage, and gas fee on top of utilities... And whether the fee is used for what it states or as a way to keep comps high for the area. Electricity is always variable, but a general understanding of how much I could typically expect if I kept a thermostat of about 72* (I have snow dogs, and even this is pretty hot to them! Ironic, as that is too cold for me... But in true dog pawrent form, I do what I have to do to keep them healthy!) would be extremely appreciated.

Cheers!

27M, posting here in hopes that I find some likeminded people in the Elk Grove/Sacramento area. My influences are mainly grunge era, so late 80’s/early 90’s, but I have other influences and listen to many other things as well. I play guitar (rhythm and lead) but I can play bass as well, although I don’t own a bass. I believe rock/metal about to make a comeback, so I hope to talk to some of you soon!

Just moved up the street from the cookie jar 2 on Elk Grove florin. Was this location ever open? Anyone know what the deal is? Been a few months now and it appears to be undergoing renovations

Coming up for a long weekend in August and looking for a good hotel. I know there are fancier ones in sac but we are looking to stay in the Elk Grove area. Seems our options are Hilton/hyatt… but if anyone has stayed in either or knows of a better option, please let me know ☺️

Hi! I know r/sacramentofriends exists but my husband and I just moved to Elk Grove to settle down (his family is from sac so please don’t be territorial) and would love to get to know locals first.

We are your typical suburban couple that wants to eventually have a family here, be a part of the community, look out for one another, etc etc. Where do the other 30-something year olds hang out? What time do they come out LOL.

Ty and we love this place :)
